This is where I get to speak about issues until I hear the popping sound of peoples heads being pulled out of their asses.
My country is too dear to me to care what others think. If you find me offensive, fine. Political correctness is something I don't believe in.
Feel free to openly engage me in conversation, I will accept all comments. However, insults will not be tolerated. I can be as mean and abusive as the best of them.
So read on and be enlightened.

Save your freedom of speech on the internet!!!!

Last year, more than 1.5 million Americans contacted Congress and stopped phone and cable company efforts to kill Net Neutrality. Now industry lobbyists are pressuring the Federal Communications Commission to abandon this fundamental Internet freedom.

It's time the FCC heard from you. The agency has launched a public inquiry into whether it should protect Net Neutrality or let companies like AT&T, Verizon and Comcast dictate which Web sites you can use. Take action now and help stop the big phone and cable companies again.

In your own words, tell the FCC why you need a free and open Internet. Your story will be sent to the FCC in Washington.

I do agree that anytime the government gets involved in something it usually screws it up. However, I do believe that with the recent attempt to pass immigration the internet and talk radio have come under scrutiny as tools used by opponents of governmental policy. I do believe the government is going to try and silence us any way they can. We need to come up with some way to ensure that we have the freedom to pass information and have access to that information without government or corporate censorship.

Yeah, open the land up to more competition so the big companies can't form a cartel to manipulate prices. Such systems can only occur when the government is there protecting them from competition.

Of course that's not gonna happen, so we are in a bit of a bind. I don't know exactly what the answer is, but it's important to realize that all of the fears that we have regarding the big corporations are only theories at this point, and not reality. The Internet is pretty much the greatest thing man has ever created when it comes to the freedom of ideas and I don't think people are going to give it up to easily. I'd rather take my chances with the corporations until they cross the line, than turn the thing over to the State who never gives anything back.
